Just not feeling it on any level. I found it to be a confused mess that never really went anywhere satisfying. Nothing exceptional about the story, the cinematography, certainly not the acting. Rob Zombie needs to stop putting his lady in everything he does, it's getting old!<br /> And if I wanted to see something Polanski-esque...I'll just watch actual Polanski films like "Rosemary's Baby" or "Repulsion" or if I wanted crappy Polanski I could watch "The Ninth Gate"...<br /> Oh well, disappointed again by Rob Zombie, was really hoping for a comeback after those lousy Halloween movies. maybe his upcoming hockey movie will redeem him somehow?Hopsy the beer drinking clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525353197637142711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-60221920669871996722013-09-16T13:54:54.213-04:002013-09-16T13:54:54.213-04:00dag..

I don't know if he actually got any better this time around, but the result is definitely better. I think it's because of two things: 1. He was copying 70's satanic horror films this time around and those are much more sedate in their presentation, and 2. He avoided white trash idiot characters.Prudence Deerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794906812959392029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-28058972762206340602013-09-16T13:17:57.556-04:002013-09-16T13:17:57.556-04:00& then there's the soundtrack..

But the others, including his homage to "Halloween" made me ill. I thought this was lovely (if you can say that about a film with dead dudes/demons um, pleasuring themselves). I gave it a B.

The scenes from around the city are great, the cinematography was great, and parts were really creepy. However, the film is all over the place to me. As a matter of fact I read a article that explains a lot of the missing info that is passed over, that is apparently explained in the novelization.
